Our Vision

by Julia Evans last modified 2007-09-04 13:23

Who we are, what we stand for and what we do.

VISION :                               A neglected dog, an everday sight     

We recognise animals are livings beings deserving the right to a good quality life.  We endeavour to achieve this through means of education and sterilisation.  While we are at this stage still forced to euthanase because there are not enough homes, we do not believe that euthanasia is the answer to the problem of over population.

MISSION :Vets sterilizing animals (1)Lodine checking on a spayed dogA little boy with his sterilized dog

STERILISE, STERILISE, STERILISE!  There is no good reason for breeding other than if the animal is a champion animal and is being bred to produce litters of good temperament.  With the help of the public and the municipality our goal is  to sterilise 4000 animals (and more) per year.

Each sterilisation cost approximately R200 (inclusive of vaccination and deworming) and your assistance is crucial in helping us.

We have a small clinic on site and sterilisations take place once a week with either Vetsol or the Stellenbosch Animal Hospital.

WHO WE ARE…..                    Shelter staff taking care of the puppies
